Somewhat useless stat. Even if you use it for betting you are still going to bleed cash.

The ones that completely drained themselves trying to hit the weight will probably lose. But the ones that stop the cut early and come in like 5 lbs heavier I'm sure are way more likely to win.

If it were a coin flip then statistical uncertainty is bigger than 4% for that sample size.

So basically a crapshoot in those cases.

Whats really interesting is that ever since the implementation of early weigh ins, way more fighters are missing weight!

@Natural Order

Thanks bro. Interesting that this came up after just talking about it......so my original thought was skewed, I thought it would be slightly in the opposite direction.

Cool info!

Funny because I've seen people suggest the consequences for missing weight aren't enough to deter the easy path to victory, but it's basically a coin flip.

It appears as if missing weight works better than taking PEDs. LOL

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Wasn't it 80% like a year ago? What happened to that?

So they're batting 500... basically irrelevant
